I have no experience with Fusion, but I do have and use BC 25 Pro I use with my OmniTurn. It works great for me, I can make my own cutters draw and save them. (I use Rhino Cad mostly for the Cad...

Sounds like you have already checked your motor tuning. Might want to have a look at the motor belt and teeth on the belt. You cold also switch axis motor cacble reassign axis and test for accuracy...

Could your hi low settings in serial port need to be reciprocated? I have a PWM speed controller that is polarity protected so 0 is on and 5 is off.

Thanks very much.

I am hoping to build a larger CNC Lathe than my little Sherline . Got this spindle on Craigslist this week for 10 dollars. I was impressed with the fit of everything, no perceivable slop at all. Just...

Update.
This Macro does not work unless all of the arcs are output in line segments for G-code, no I,K or R. Which works for one of my CAM programs but not the other. The scaling needs to be done...

That did the trick. Big monitor is now assigned as main, all is good.
Thanks for the idea.

SOLVED,
For some reason the the layers don't work when when on larger duel monitor. It has worked fine in the past, small monitor is good for now.

Got home and pulled laptop out to finish work but layers are frozen up on all files. They do nothing. As best I can tell there is no lock layers function. I am using V25 a Dell Precision with a...

I was getting things to work a bit with the local variables, but I don't know enough about local variables and how they work ie. #20=T. But after futzing around a bit I came up with this and it seems...

I have noticed that when I use my dial indicator and check the backlash on my lathe with backlash compensation OFF, on the Z axis I am reading about .0038" backlash. If I account for this in...

Thanks very much. Still messing with the macro. I have been using a G51 X0 I -1, but that needs a G50 on the other end or at new near side tool to turn off.
I will try what you have suggested and...

I am trying to write a M06 macro for my lathe table and would like to use a branch variable with some of the far side tools need - x coordinates. Have found some G odes on the net that are simple...

Solved. Uninstalled and reinstalled software.

I have just replaced my Nema 23 3 amp 120 oz motors with some 454oz 3 amp motors. Everything is working well with the exception of my Home/Limit switches will trip in Home/Limit mode and over-travel...

Thanks very much for the reply.
It is making much more sense to me this morning. The cut setup process is fast, I think it kind of threw me off.

Here is the attachment.

Hello,
I have been using a different CAM program for 3 years now. I am not happy with it. I am hoping to change over two MadCam as I use Rhino for all of my modeling.
A couple of questions.
I...

Not sure that I uploaded the file correctly.

Hi,
I am trying to come up with some code. When I verify my file, my drill hole function is showing, when I run it through preditor (I have used two different posts) the drill holes are not...

Found a PDF file with recommended NVIDIA 8/9 series with Vista settings for BC. I have 7 series, so not a perfect match. One thing I noticed was that texture filtering anisotropic on my cpu was set...

Thanks for the help BurrMan. I had reinstalled/updated the driver from the NVIDIA website before the 24 install. I had quite a bit of crashing going on after install so I rolled back the driver...

Hello.
Just installed V24 Fri
I had recently ran some updates and now BC 23 and 24 are crashing. 23 worked acceptably before, although I had not used it for a while. Was hoping to come up with...

I have just upgraded from 23-24. In following the install CD directions I went to my graphic driver company's website and reinstalled/updated my driver, before the install. I feel this may have been...

The winters are hard, but the fishing in the summer makes it worth it.:)

Thanks again Burrman, Preditor is working great. I will compare unmodified and modified posts to see what was changed.
Mike

Burrman,
Here is some test code and the Post that is missing preditor header info.
Thanks,
...

Thanks for the information Burrman,
I think I am understanding this. A post can work for a machine but not be setup for Preditor?

Hello,
I like BC V23 very much and use Mach/ Taig mill. I had some issues getting the post to work with Preditor, but got a modfied post and help here.

I have ordered a Torchmate Router and...

I use Rhino CAD which I like very much and Visualturn which I like also, but for me is a little less intuitive. That being said Mecsoft's/Visualturn customer support has been top notch and is free, I...
